The result of the value conversion is 382,942,000 meters and it can be written by scientific notation as [tex] \sf{\bold{3.83 \times 10^8 \: meters}} [/tex]
Hi ! I'm Deva from Brainly Indonesia. Here I will help you convert between units and convert it to scientific notation.
In the world of physics, we know a system called International Standard units, so that the non-standard form of units (which are agreed upon by several countries or people only), must be converted to this international standard.
Scientific notation is the notation used to simplify the mention of too long zeros as integers or decimal number. Scientific notation is denoted by:
[tex] \boxed{\sf{\bold{x \cdot 10^n}}} [/tex]
With the following condition :
We know that :
What was asked :
Step by step :
[tex] \sf{d = 238,000 \times 1,609} [/tex]
[tex] \boxed{\sf{d = 382,942,000 \: meters}} [/tex]
The result states the number in the hundreds of millions. The number hundreds of millions always has a power of 8 ([tex] \sf{10^8} [/tex]). So, we convert 382.942,000 >> 3.82942000 and because the last three zeros can be omitted.
The scientific notation become :
[tex] \boxed{\sf{Distance \: = 3.83 \times 10^8 \: meters}} [/tex]
